Byzantine Saints: Hieromartyr Hippolytus, and those with him (30 January)

About this sermon

On January 30, the Church commemorates Hieromartyr Hippolytus of Rome and the many holy martyrs who suffered with him during the brutal persecutions of the third century under Emperor Claudius II (268–270). St Hippolytus, a bishop of Rome, disciple of St Irenaeus of Lyons, and one of the last Western Fathers to write in Greek, courageously confronted pagan authorities despite his advanced age. For rebuking the torturers for their inhumanity, he was himself subjected to cruel torments and finally bound hand and foot and cast into the sea, receiving the crown of martyrdom. Also commemorated are St Censorinus, a high-ranking Roman magistrate who raised a dead man by the grace of Christ; twenty soldiers and prison guards converted by this miracle; St Chryse the Virgin, whose heroic confession endured unimaginable tortures; St Sabinus, her servant; and many other Roman martyrs who bore witness to Christ with their blood. Beyond his martyrdom, St Hippolytus of Rome is revered as a towering theologian of the early Church. He authored the Apostolic Tradition, a Paschal Canon, a Treatise on Antichrist, and numerous biblical commentaries on Genesis, Exodus, the Psalms, Isaiah, Daniel, the Gospels, and more. His preaching displays extraordinary theological depth and rhetorical mastery. Though many of their bodies disappeared into the sea, their memory remains eternal and immortal—a blazing testimony to the victory of Christ over death and tyranny. 🕯️ Holy Hieromartyr Hippolytus and all the martyrs with him, pray for us. 00:00 Introduction – January 30 Commemoration 00:20 Hieromartyr Hippolytus and the Roman Martyrs 00:33 St Hippolytus Rebukes the Torturers 00:45 Martyrdom of St Hippolytus 00:50 St Censorinus and the Miracle in Prison 01:07 Conversion of the Soldiers and Guards 01:13 St Chryse the Virgin Before the Tribunal 01:17 The Tortures of St Chryse 01:38 St Chryse Cast into the Sea 01:56 St Sabinus and His Martyrdom 02:10 Other Roman Martyrs of the Year 269 02:36 Relics of St Hippolytus in Rome 02:42 St Hippolytus as Disciple of St Irenaeus 02:49 Writings Against the Heretics 02:56 Apostolic Tradition and Paschal Canon 03:08 Biblical Commentaries of St Hippolytus 03:25 His Masterful Preaching Style 03:30 One of the Last Western Fathers Writing in Greek https://www.oca.org/saints/lives 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
